Your on qeue once u lodge ur visa. Ph processing gets really slow so dont expect to get a grant after 3 months.
For 300 app. NOIM is part of the requirements thus you must comply. Check the homeaffairs website as it is stated there. The validity of the noim is up to 18 months.Before signing perhaps ask your celebrant with regards to changing the dates if it lapses on the intended date and if they will allow any changes due to uncertainty. Also the requirements that was asked by our celebrant was my passport and my signature but since im still in ph our celebrant allowed us to have my signature once im back in Au and for my fiancee /aussie was his passport . Again it differs per celebrant.
I didnt uploaded my Noim after lodgement I uploaded it after 3 months.
